im am hearing alot about other carriers getting this phone i thought palm said that the only other verison of this phone would be a euro gsm no other usa carrier will have this phone you might be able to buy one unlocked for full retail

There are articles floating around the Net which have Palm officials saying the only other planned version of the Pre will be the GSM Euro World-Ready version. They specifically say "second version released in foreign regions", Sprint has the American version all to themselves.

Besides, Verizon blew it by going with the Storm which they call their "flagship device" and by their history of crippling devices and high service costs.

Sprint Exclusive first release of the Pre, The Euro GSM version will more than likely be unlocked. If unlocked it will be able to run on ATT and TMO not 'Verizon'. However, it will probably only run Edge speed.
